The 7 Hour War - Garry's Mod

Hey, I have a suggestion: For your HUD, use blue and orange or blue and red. Orange is the complementary color of Blue and they both bring each other out. Red is also what I think the Rebels were colored on Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Yellow doesn't really do much design-wise.

This is awesome. I'd be happy to assist in mapping if needed.

Is the Battlefield HUD already implemented or is that just a placeholder image?

[QUOTE=cardboardtheory;38491227]Is the Battlefield HUD already implemented or is that just a placeholder image?[/QUOTE] It's implemented.

[QUOTE=CGNick;38471192]And it all comes to different models. See this is why I could make use of a Modeler. But I don't have one.[/QUOTE] There are a lot of really good modelers out there that can help you with that. Max is one of the best that i've seen (especially for animating), but i'm sure he's busy with other things right now.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;38494684]I hate the be the "this isn't canon" guy but yeah, if you seriously want to go for "realism within the half-life universe" then you shouldn't be using Overwatch units. They came in much later. Otherwise it looks fucking incredible, good job.[/QUOTE] Thanks, and Right now any models you see on the pictures are just placeholders. I won't be using the overwatch in the actual gamemode. I hope..

If I were you, I'd just take a stab at bonemerging [URL="http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=126330"]these models[/URL] someone linked earlier. They've got the distinct Combine synth aesthetic, so they'd work well while solving the Overwatch issue. They may need some editing to be totally viable, I'm unsure as far as that goes. I really like this concept, by the way. Good luck with it.

Distancing the models from a humanoid aesthetic would probably be a better move.

Loving the VGUI

I already said that [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=128626[/url] bonemerge perfectly, the other one has a massive gun on one of its arms, if I recall correctly.

[url]https://trello.com/board/7-hour-war/50a905fdd509cc8a590021db[/url] We decided to start a board. You can monitor our progress here.

Can't wait for this release!

You should use the COD ported models. They are already rigged to be used as player models if you download the right ones and they look really good. And i would avoid adding anything about the resistance. a resistance wouldnt have any time to form within 7 hours, let alone 3-5 to actually take place in the war. And use a-cookies suggestion for combine soldiers during the war. it makes perfect sense. Also, since antlions came with the combine, you could add a few antlion spawns on certain maps to throw a twist into the combat, in some cases creating, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"scenario. just a suggestion.

I already have plans for the human forces. 2. I've never mentioned anything about adding the resistance in, cause I know it wouldn't make sence. 3. We already established that we aren't going 100% canon cause I'm pretty sure not everyone wants to play as a combine no faced robot. We are still thinking of models for that section. 4. I already am using the Antlion idea. You can see it in my list of objectives - Thumper Rush

Introducing the S.U.C.T (СОБТ). The Anti-Terrorist unit in Bulgaria. It will be featured in the first map of the gamemode. [img]http://i.imgur.com/fomWA.png[/img]

the gui is lookin sexy [editline]19th November 2012[/editline] also nice playermodels

Personally, I don't like the "blood red" color for the humans when the Combine's blue is a nice futuristic aqua. Makes them look like the bad guys. If you ask me, Half-Life's signature "good guy" color is orange, so I'd add back some yellow into the humans' color. Let's see what HEV orange looks like on the HUD.

Here's a heavily W.I.P. intersection from 7hw_Birkutgrad [IMG]https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/50a905fdd509cc8a590021db/50a918b52e348eea540025cf/20e6277a3fb18631298a59b1432fb596/Heavily_WIP_Intersection.png[/IMG] I know there's not a lot of detail, but I want to make sure the map works first before I add more detail. (Edit: Also, please don't mind the blockiness.)

Is the game going to have some kind of large-scale combat system (as in, like, Humans being able to use vehicles or something, Combine with Synths etc.)?

Its a country which deserves more recognition, hopefully when it wins the EU culture capital it will get more attention and sort its government out. Edit: nice model.

[QUOTE=DETrooper;38517865]On certain maps, yes.[/QUOTE] That sounds a like it could be a bit fun. [img]http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc59pnTbpo1qbzf0vo1_500.jpg[/img] Very fun indeed.

[QUOTE=CGNick;38511793]Alright, HEV color image comming up. Uh, thoughts? I don't think it looks better. [img]http://i.imgur.com/L4KW6.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Does it scale?

[QUOTE=godlike;38518338]Does it scale?[/QUOTE] It scales according to your screen, so it's always the same size. Since I work on a laptop I can't really take images to show you the difference.

[QUOTE=CGNick;38518451]2. City 17 is located there.[/QUOTE] Wow, I really didn't know that. Interesting fact.
